Every Rose

"Every rose has its thorn."

Will you fall for the rose,

or be aware of the thorns?

Why is it,

that things such as thorns

can bring such cruelty

to something so stunning?

A rose.

Reflects beauty,

grace,

elegance,

and sometimes,

romance...

But careful when you get too close,

and you start to fall

for its beauty,

and letting the thorns prick you.

Step Up

Stepping up

to a new higher level.

6 years of step one,

and 3 more years

of step two.

What is it exactly,

to say you're stepping up?

To say that you're better,

is it?

To say that you're wiser,

is it?

To what I say,

it's to step up.

A more mature personality,

being a good kind

of different.

So maybe people say

we've changed,

we didn't.

We simply got higher.

We simply stepped up.

Through the Obstacles

Can I see what lies beyond?

Not much.

Can I see how I'm supposed to get through?

Not really.

But I'll hold my head up.

My chest high.

And ready to face everything.

The things that get in my way,

I'll ignore.

The obstacles I may face,

I'll go through them.

I'll hold out my hand

and sweep them away.

Because what lies beyond,

is much more important.

The things that block away my vision,

it won't block away my hope.

The dream awaits beyond,

through the obstacles.

Follow Us

Among the rippled waters,

swam a family of geese.

A mother.

A father.

3 little goslings that follow.

"Follow us, oh little children,

for wherever you swim,

might not be the safest waters.

For wherever you look,

might not be the best thing to see.

But for whatever you feel like,

your red-beak parents,

are there.

Follow us, oh little children.

Swim where we swim.

Watch how we make the waters ripple,

as no harm may find us or likewise.

Close your eyes,

from the things that bother,

and open them to see

the beauty of the world.

Follow us, oh little goslings.

Follow us."
